Spanky, Before & After Haircut 05.29.09

Little Spanky is now a totally different looking dog.  We decided to take and get him groomed because he had gotten so many mats in his hair from biting his itches.  The lady that did his grooming said he was a sweetheart and was so easy to work with.  When we went to pick him [...]

Memorial Day 05.25.09

Memorial Day is a special holiday that is often times over looked as just the monday off that creates another three day weekend.  Yesterday we picked up a new flag and bracket to fly it from our house.  Today we are very proud to be flying that flag, and will remember those that are responsible [...]

Buy An American Car, Please 05.18.09

My Grandma’s car recently had a severe overheating problem that put it in the shop for the past few weeks.  It’s back on the road now, but her concern now is that she’ll never really trust it again for any trip that is a decent distance away from home.  Repairing it wasn’t the suggestion that [...]

Nikon Coolpix S550 05.11.09

Even with already having a DSLR camera, I’ve been wanting a high megapixel compact camera that would easily fit in my pocket that I could take on bike rides. My D200 would be awesome to have with me all the time, but there are times when I’d rather be a bit more discrete and others [...]

Enjoying My 2GB RAM Upgrade 05.07.09

My new 2GB worth of RAM came from Crucial today and I didn’t waste any time installing it.  I think it actually took more time to plug everything back into the back of the computer than it did to install the RAM.

Potato Bin After 2 Weeks 05.04.09

With all the rain we’ve been having, and a few days of sun tossed into the mix, the potatoes have sprouted up out of the ground a good bit.  One was just barely able to be seen at all, while the others ranged in height up to about 5 or 6 inches.  We added another [...]
